Greetings everyone,
Whenever I look around for tutorials on different disciplines on Revit, one particular advice keeps showing up, which is to not model different disciplines on the same project, but rather create a new file for each discipline and link architectural or any other you need into it.
I understand that there's the issue of file size if every all the information of different templates were put on a single file everytime you'd like to create a project, but is there any other reason to not do it?
For instance, if I'm modeling a house and want to make the electrical project on the same model, will the components and circuits work the same way, or are any of the commands disabled or something?
Thanks for the help in advance

Go ahead and model everything in one template. There's nothing preventing you from doing that. If you want to later break up the Project into separate Projects by discipline, then break it up.
...let me add: think VIEWS. Not TEMPLATES. You want to dedicate Views to specific disciplines of work.
Architectural and Structural is totally doable. MEP in its own model is also possible. Now an issue is mechanical items are not loaded in the architectural template, so if you try to create ducts it won't work right. If you are not creating the ducts and just placing air registers, place away...
The reason they usually say to not do it is if the disciplines are not under the same roof.
If you do need to break up a model -- breaking it up by discipline is a sound strategy.
@Anonymous : keep in mind that you can always turn portions of your model into Links later down the road if need be.
